Jonathan
September 14th 2024
Last saw Jon Spencer around 30 years ago... He was outstanding then and again this time. Don't know why I waited so long to see him I must've been in a coma but they woke me up with a beauty of a slap.
His band was made up of two parts of the Bobby Lees (bassist Kendall Wind, drummer Macky Spider Bowman) they were tight like a family - could've been his kids they knew every little tremor, every flash point!
I have loved so many of his previous incarnations it was so good to see him still setting the world alight. If you can go see him you're in for a fiery treat.
